Chapter 88 Relationships
Xujiahui was as lively as usual on Sunday.
So why are there always so many people in places like this?
Lin Jianlu, no, actually Lin Baolong, was standing in front of a building not far from Xujiahui subway station, looking up at the tall building in front of him.
She often passed by here, but she never paid attention to the building, so much so that now it has a strange sense of familiarity.
Quanyuan Group, he heard, sells cosmetics, but he had never heard of their cosmetics on the market, nor did he know where their products were sold.
Maybe it's overseas?
Who cares? Anyway, this has nothing to do with Lin Jianlu.
She always finds things troublesome, so a set of affordable lotion and moisturizer is all she needs.
Even when it comes to makeup, it's a quick application that takes about ten minutes. I would never waste too much time on things with extremely obvious diminishing returns.
This is probably a side effect of spending more than an hour each time I do my male makeup.
Lin Jianlu scratched his head.
Why think so much? Right now, there's a problem that's neither too big nor too small that urgently needs to be solved.
Xie Linyu is some kind of director of the company in front of us.
Since she couldn't accept the friend request, she wanted to confront her directly.
Moreover, in order to prevent the other party from discovering her true identity as Chen Chen's childhood friend, she specially asked Sister Xuanxuan to dress her up as Lin Baolong.
Moreover, this has an additional benefit: one might be able to use their good looks to gain the girl's favor and thus extract more detailed information from her.
Yes, that's right! That's right! Rich women definitely like young, handsome men!
So Lin Jianlu was full of confidence today, feeling that this matter was definitely going to be a sure thing!
But when she arrived, she realized that it was not stable at all.
Because today is Sunday, and other companies also have weekends off...
That's so stupid! It's really so stupid. Has she gotten so used to being a student that she actually thinks everyone in the workforce should be working all the time?
No wonder there seem to be far fewer people with tired and listless expressions around here today.
But since we're already here, we might as well go in and ask. What if Xie Linyu is a workaholic who insists on working even on weekends?
Lin Jianlu thought for a moment, and with the idea that since she was already there, she might as well not waste her outfit, and walked into the building.
In a place like Xujiahui where every inch of land is precious, even the area of the lobby on the first floor of an office building has to be carefully calculated. After passing through the revolving door, Lin Jianlu saw that she hadn't walked more than a few steps before she arrived at the lobby counter, where several receptionists in suits were standing.
"Hello, I'd like to look for Xie Linyu," Lin Baolong said.
"Um, what's your name? Let me ask Sister Linyu." The receptionist nodded, smiling happily, after all, she had met a cool and handsome guy.
Great, it really is here. Today was worth the trip.
"Lin Baolong"
Lin Jianlu replied.
There was no other way; she couldn't find any other men who were acquainted with Xie Linyu, so she had to bite the bullet and use her own name.
The receptionist dialed an internal line and explained the situation to the person on the other end.
The receptionist then handed the phone to Lin Jianlu.
"Hello." A gentle female voice came from the other end, tinged with a hint of doubt, "Mr. Lin, may I ask who you are?"
Xie Linyu certainly didn't know Lin Baolong, so it was only natural for her to ask who he was.
"I am……"
Just as she was about to blurt it out, Lin Jianlu suddenly stopped.
She couldn't talk about saving people; she had already been rejected once before.
But for a moment she couldn't think of any other topics to talk about... Wait! There is! There is! It's information she just learned not long ago!
"I am a friend of Akashi Mio, and I would like to pay you a visit."
Upon hearing this, Lin Jianlu quickly noticed that the other person gasped.
"What's your relationship with Mio? What are you trying to do? What's your purpose?" The other party then fired off a series of questions in rapid succession, appearing very nervous.
Why is this happening?
What exactly is the relationship between her and Akashi Mio?
During the time Lin Jianlu remained silent, the other party seemed to have realized what was happening, immediately calmed down, and spoke in a low voice:
"Whatever your relationship with her, I advise you not to meddle or say anything to her, or you'll definitely experience what I'm capable of and have to give the phone back to her!"
Having almost never heard such threatening words before, Lin Jianlu listened blankly to the other party's words before handing the phone back to the receptionist.
But she soon regretted it.
Half a minute later—
The radio hostess hung up the phone and shook her head at her:
"I'm sorry, Sister Linyu is very busy right now and may not be able to receive you. Please understand."
"Well, this is urgent, I really need to go see her..."
"I'm sorry, Sister Linyu is very busy right now and may not be able to receive you. Please understand."
No matter how I explained it to the receptionist, they would just say the same thing.
Damn it! I shouldn't have given the phone back to the front desk!
It was only then that Lin Jianlu realized the consequences of her momentary obedience.
She lost her only chance to communicate with Xie Linyu!
……
"Damn, that was so stupid, so close!"
A few minutes later, Lin Jianlu stormed out of the building, stomped his foot angrily, and then suddenly squatted down, covering his head.
"Ughhhhh, I'm so angry!"
I regret it so much! Why did she give the phone to that receptionist?!
I was so angry that my head was buzzing.
Why, why is this happening...? Wait a minute!
Lin Jianlu squatted on the ground, her eyes wide open, staring straight at the ground. In her field of vision, there was a line of ants, densely packed, carrying a dead large spider, moving in an orderly manner in a certain direction.
A little further away, a small spider that hadn't died was struggling to survive, desperately fighting against the swarm of black ants.
Big spider, little spider, black ant...
Xie Linyu, Ming Shimiao, they...
A strange flash of inspiration crossed Lin Jianlu's mind, and he suddenly looked up.
The words I had heard not long ago echoed in my mind again, and all the clues and memories reconnected and intertwined with the emergence of a magical link.
She seems to have grasped the core of this whole incident.
But why, why did Xie Linyu let things turn out this way?
The girl took out her phone and opened the video that had put Chen Chen in his current predicament. Its popularity was still growing even now, with the number of likes approaching one million.
Those guys at the school newspaper must be ecstatic.
It's just a pity about Chen Chen.
Chen Chen, Chen Chen...
Lin Jianlu's eyes widened, and he suddenly slapped his thigh.
That's right! She can just ask Chen Chen!
